Hi all, I am a relatively new player and I have run through IoD multiple times. But I started a Kurashasa character the other day and i ran him through the original racial starting zone and it was amazing. The diplo questline in Qur’xa temple was the best questline in VG I have experienced so far.

So I want to implore all the other new and returning players: check out these great zones! To help get you there, I created a guide to help you find all the original starting locations.

Thestra

to get a flying mount for Thestran races:

tldr: go to three rivers, rit to Veskal’s Exchange, its near the rift portal

have an alt mail your character some money (25 copper per flight + 5 silver to rift)

run south along the road out of Tursh into Three Rivers

as soon as you enter the 3R zone, veer left and leave the road. stay east of the lake.

after the lake, stick near the western edge of the rocks until you go through a rocky crevice

dont go near the bridge, just head south-west, over the river and straight into Three Rivers Village

in the middle of 3R is a mailbox, loc: 39950, 45670, 45200

riftstone is west of the town, rift to Veskal’s Exchange

griffon trainer is right next to you
